The National Identification Authority (NIA) has called on the public to immediately report any of its officials who demand payment for Ghana Card services, as it begins free issuance and registration across the Greater Accra Region.
The exercise, which starts on Monday, April 7, 2025, will cover the distribution of backlog cards and new registrations at all NIA District Offices in the region.
In a statement, the Authority assured the public that all services relating to the collection of printed backlog cards and first-time registration are completely free of charge.
“All Ghanaians who applied for card issuance, replacements, or made changes to their personal details since June 2023 but have not yet received their cards can now collect them from the District Offices where they registered,” the NIA announced.
Additionally, persons aged 15 and above who have never registered for the Ghana Card are encouraged to do so at any NIA District Office within the Greater Accra Region.
The Authority also reiterated its commitment to eliminating all forms of extortion and misconduct among its staff and urged the public to be vigilant and report any wrongdoing.
The Ghana Card has become a key requirement for accessing a range of services including banking, SIM registration, and social interventions.
